Exploring Family Constellations and "Another Self"

In this episode, Jenny and Rafe delve into the growing awareness and acceptance of family constellations, a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand how past traumas and family dynamics can influence their current lives. They discuss how family constellations are portrayed in the popular Netflix series Another Self, highlighting the increasing mainstream recognition of this profound therapeutic method.

The Family Constellation Process Explained

Rafe provides a comprehensive overview of how family constellation workshops work. He describes the process of using representatives to embody different family members, allowing participants to explore the hidden dynamics and unresolved issues within their family systems. Emphasising that the client is the expert in their own experience, Rafe explains how constellations offer opportunities for new insights and personal resolution.

Powerful Constellation Experiences

Sharing a deeply personal experience, Rafe recounts a transformative family constellation related to his brother’s suicide. He reveals how the constellation process uncovered emotional truths and insights that he had not previously recognised, offering a powerful testament to the effectiveness of family constellations in addressing complex emotional trauma. Rafe also discusses the visceral emotional reactions that can arise during constellations, highlighting the intensity of the process.

Ancestry and Intergenerational Trauma

The conversation takes a reflective turn as Rafe discusses the role of ancestry and intergenerational trauma in family constellations. He explains how ancestral influences—often carried unconsciously through generations—can shape an individual’s life. Through a personal example, Rafe illustrates how family constellations can bring awareness to these hidden connections and offer healing for inherited wounds.

Rafe Nauen’s Diverse Career Journey

Jenny and Rafe take a moment to reflect on Rafe’s diverse career path, from working in IT to farming and pottery. Rafe shares how these varied experiences eventually led him to the field of family constellations, a practice he has been engaged in for over 20 years. His unique journey demonstrates the interconnectedness of life experiences and how each chapter can lead to greater clarity and purpose.
